Greek Multi Tool – Ultimate Greek Language Toolkit for WordPress

Greek Multi Tool 3.3 transforms how WordPress handles the Greek language. This all-in-one solution tackles every Greek-specific challenge your website faces – from URL structure to media file names to search functionality to content optimization.

Our plugin is meticulously designed for Greek website owners who need professional-grade tools that understand the unique characteristics of the Greek language. Whether you’re running a blog, business site, or e-commerce store, Greek Multi Tool solves problems other plugins can’t even detect.

Full Page Builder & SEO Plugin Compatibility

Greek Multi Tool works seamlessly with the most popular WordPress page builders and SEO plugins:

• Elementor – Full compatibility. The plugin reads Elementor widget data directly from post meta, ensuring text analysis and excerpt generation capture all your content – including text editors, headings, tabs, accordions, and other Elementor widgets.
• WordPress Gutenberg (Block Editor) – Full compatibility. All block types are properly parsed and their content extracted for analysis, excerpt generation, and search.
• WordPress Classic Editor – Full compatibility. Works with both TinyMCE visual and text modes.

• Rank Math & All in One SEO – Compatible. Uses standard WordPress hooks that work alongside all major SEO plugins.
• Divi Builder, Beaver Builder, Avada/Fusion Builder – Compatible. Page builder shortcodes are properly stripped for text analysis and excerpt generation.

New in Version 3.1.0

No more broken image URLs or encoding headaches – “φωτογραφία-προϊόντος.jpg” becomes “fotografia-proiontos.jpg” automatically.
2. ACF (Advanced Custom Fields) Compatibility Fix – Our transliteration engine is now context-aware. It intelligently detects when Advanced Custom Fields is generating internal field names and keys, and skips transliteration to prevent ACF field corruption. Your ACF field definitions stay exactly as they should be.
3. Attachment Slug Conversion – Media attachment slugs (URLs) are now automatically converted to Latin, just like posts and pages. This applies both on new uploads and through the bulk “Convert Old Permalinks” tool which now includes attachments and media items.

Compatibility

Page Builders – Full Support

Greek Multi Tool provides deep, tested compatibility with all major page builders. Every feature of the plugin – text analysis, excerpt generation, uppercase accent removal, search, and permalink conversion – works correctly regardless of which page builder you use:

• WP Bakery Page Builder (Visual Composer) – Full support. The plugin extracts text content from all WP Bakery elements (vc_column_text, vc_row, custom text blocks, etc.) both client-side and server-side. If client-side extraction isn’t possible (e.g., WP Bakery’s backend editor mode), the plugin automatically falls back to server-side content extraction from the saved post. The uppercase accent remover also works on WP Bakery’s dynamically rendered frontend content.
• Elementor – Full support. The plugin reads Elementor’s widget data directly from post meta (_elementor_data), extracting text from all widget types including text editors, headings, tabs, accordions, testimonials, and more. Accent removal works on Elementor’s frontend-rendered elements via MutationObserver.
• WordPress Gutenberg (Block Editor) – Full support. Block content is properly parsed using WordPress core functions (excerpt_remove_blocks) and the Gutenberg data API.
• WordPress Classic Editor – Full support. Works with TinyMCE visual mode and plain text mode.
• Divi Builder – Compatible. Divi shortcodes (et_*) are properly stripped for content extraction.
• Beaver Builder – Compatible. Beaver Builder shortcodes (fl_*) are properly handled.
• Avada / Fusion Builder – Compatible. Fusion shortcodes (fusion_*) are properly handled.

SEO Plugins

• Yoast SEO – Full support. Greek Multi Tool filters content through Yoast’s analysis hooks (wpseo_pre_analysis_post_content), providing clean rendered text when page builder shortcodes are detected. This ensures Yoast can accurately analyze your Greek content for readability and SEO, even when using WP Bakery or other shortcode-based builders.
• Rank Math – Compatible. Uses standard WordPress hooks.
• All in One SEO (AIOSEO) – Compatible. Uses standard WordPress hooks.

Other Plugins

• WordPress core (tested up to 6.9.1)
• WooCommerce – Full support for product permalinks, search, and media
• Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) – Full compatibility since v3.3.0 with context-aware transliteration

The plugin has been extensively tested for compatibility issues and will not conflict with other well-coded plugins.
